[quote=Anonymous]This is OP. She is at a private school, with no testing or check points. The school takes a very “they are learning to be learners” approach and isn’t pushing us to explore tutoring at all, since she is still developmentally on track. They also have 2 teachers in her room and a dedicated learning specialist who facilitates small reading groups. I volunteer in the class and I’m confident the school is not creating a competitive environment.

she has shared that her group had just one other kid and they were the only ones still reading “baby” books. At graduation the kids got up to say a series of thank yous and most looked like they were reading. I know they had just memorized (because the parents are all friends too) but she assumed they were all reading and thus, she is stupid. But mostly, this is a kid who notices EVERYTHING, and then worries about it. I can’t breathe differently without her asking if everything is ok (truly, nothing goes unnoticed). So she’s seen her friends read, seen her friends write, and she can’t do it yet. She’s very emotionally mature but lacks the capacity to react appropriately in real time, if that makes sense.

99% of her anxiety in general is socially related. [/quote]
